Helllowwwwww my dear friends!!! How have you all been? Oh my goodness it's been forever!I know I haven't shown you guys anything new in ages, but believe me, time to breath is a rare thing lately.

But anyways, to the pic!Please, do listen to this song![link]Yup. Lord Huron. This band has been such an inspiration for me since last year, specially with U&A. It seems like every song they make is the perfect materialization of an adventure, with a different, strange kind of feeling (in the most magical way possible ).

This song, specially, sounds almost like a theme for Steban, in a way. It's hard to write this part of his personality, but this song translates it so well. Try to feel it

I've had this image stuck in my head for half a year now xDSteban is going on one of his adventures (and of course, he dragged poor Martin with him), and decided to take one of his famous short-cuts. Turns out this is one of his favorite places on earth, a cavern of growing stones. Martin had never seen anything so amazing in his whole life. It amazed him in such a way he even forgot to frawn.

Actually, besides the challenge of creating the background (which I had to do without references ), the most intriguing thing about this picture was drawing Martin with this expressions. I seriously did not realized his eyebrows could actually go up

Anyway, I really hope you guys enjoy this! This took me around 3 days to make, considering school projects interruptions.

Thank you very much for every comment and fave!I'm extremely sorry I haven't been online for like, a month. I'm flooded with notes and comments, old and new ones, and I really can't find the important ones among all the spam I got!

So if you have anything important to ask me, or if someone (if) made my a gift art, I would like to ask, could you please send me the link again? I really appreciate all you've done for me! Thank you for being such sweet, wonderful people, all of you

It's cool to know that such an awesome picture was inspired by an equally awesome song. Lord Huron really inspires a strange sense of wonder in a lot of their songs, and you nailed the feeling perfectly.

Your artwork is incredible! I love how you feature wolves, (which is my fav. animal!) and your drawing is amazing! I know that you sort of quit Over the Mountains and Far Away, but I think it's wonderful and would love for you to continue! If you could find the time, I would love to hear the ending of your fantastic story!

By making this beautiful piece, you were one of the biggest inspirations for me to draw this drawing! >> [link]Thanks a lot Skailla! Keep up your great work! ^^ And I wish the best for you in the future! \(^o^)/

I listened to the song and I totally think that the beginning fits perfectly to this picture. The rest is okay and it’s a good tune, but the beginning simply sounds as if the singer was inside this cave.

And the artwork is amazing. You can always create pictures that really have some story and emotions behind them. And this one is a perfect example. This is like an illustration taken out of ‘Up and Ahead’ story.

HOW do you come up with these beautiful pieces it's sooooo amazing and I understand why you said listen to the song... you said "try to feel it" ...oh.. I'm feeling it I know what you mean about it being like... Steban's theme... it seems so right without even knowing why :3 it fits his spirit! His soul! That's it! Bright and beautiful but no-one knows it.

And I don't know why but I can't stop looking at Martin it was like seeing him open his eyes truly for the first time... experience wonder. Like... I can see it in his eyes, the awe... he's going "Whoooaaa...". So, so beautiful. I'm just sitting back and feeling it... and appreciating it...

Thank you for brightening my day, Skailla What a gift to come home to ^^

Ahw, Skailla.... this is truly beautiful. The mood and atmosphere is so nice. I nearly fell asleep from all the soft and nice-ness. (Do not mistake it for boredom, please, because it really wasn't. x3)It makes me think of a nice car-ride at night in the rain. ^^ Once again, the atmosphere is overpowering me! ^^

I have a little critique for you though. x3The colors are very nice. ^^ But, I think you shaded Steban and Martin (especialy Steban) a bit too dark, which made them blend together with the background. :I

But, it's no huge problem. It really is a nice drawing + song, candy for the eyes and sweets for the ears. ^^ You really know how to match songs with drawings. Keep up your inspiring work!

Hmm, it seems Christmas is back! You're making beautiful sparkling images with the use of dark green tinges, plus outside it snows. (Being in the thick of spring!)I wasn't expecting stuff like this from you, but thanks for making these frosty days a bit more... frosty! (You know, I mean it the right way.)But I have to tell you that I wouldn't get peeved if you used a bit of nostalgia in drawing!

Reminds me a little bit of Ferngully, from the A Dream Worth Keeping sequence in the caves Beautiful, and I agree, this really does fit Steban. I have trouble myself coming up with theme songs for OCs, but I also have the most fun with an assingment like that
